2sin(x)-sin(2x)=sin(2x)

Solution

2 sin (x) - sin (2 x) = sin (2 x)

Solution

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn, x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 6 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 30 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 sin (x) - sin (2 x) = sin (2 x)

Subtract

sin (2 x)

from both sides

2 sin (x) - 2 sin (2 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 2 sin (2 x) + 2 sin (x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 sin (x) cos (x)

= - 2 \cdot 2 sin (x) cos (x) + 2 sin (x)

Simplify

= - 4 sin (x) cos (x) + 2 sin (x)

2 sin (x) - 4 cos (x) sin (x) = 0

Factor

2 sin (x) - 4 cos (x) sin (x) : - 2 sin (x) (2 cos (x) - 1)

2 sin (x) - 4 cos (x) sin (x)

Rewrite

- 4

2 \cdot 2

= 2 sin (x) + 2 \cdot 2 sin (x) cos (x)

Factor out common term

- 2 sin (x)

= - 2 sin (x) (- 1 + 2 cos (x))

- 2 sin (x) (2 cos (x) - 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

sin (x) = 0 or 2 cos (x) - 1 = 0

sin (x) = 0 : x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

sin (x) = 0

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn : x = 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

2 cos (x) - 1 = 0 : x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

2 cos (x) - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

2 cos (x) - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

2 cos (x) - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

2 cos (x) = 1

2 cos (x) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 cos (x) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 cos ( x )}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

cos (x) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (x) = \frac{1}{2}
